Delete: Nothing is here to show this meets the WP:GNG. Sports rivalries aren't inherently notable. Let'srun (talk) 20:44, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This does seem to be a thing; from a quick glance, refs 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 seem to all be independent sources talking about the rivalry. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:35, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 02:53, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not seeing the notability here; this article (in terms of its sourcing) is essentially a compilation of reports of non-notable individual games glued together here on Wikipedia in a way not done by any outside sourcing. A few sources briefly describe the previous matchup or the then-current season for one or both of the teams, but I am still unable to find sufficient and meaningful overview-level contextual coverage of the rivalry as a whole cohesive topic. The only such coverage I see is a single sentence in this source which says: In the Battle of Highway 55, Campbellsville leads the series, 4-3, but after winning the first three games of series, the Tigers have won just one of the last four meetings. This alone appears to fall short of making the rivalry notable. Left guide (talk) 06:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
